In that letter, which Jones posted on social media, he said Alberta wants a new deal that steers away from the previous agreement's goal of universal $10-per-day child care, which he described as "unsustainable and not supporting the families who need it most."
"If Minister Jones wants to walk away from a program that helps over 100,000 Alberta families save up to $11,000 per child every year, that's on him. But he can look parents in the eye and explain why he's throwing their savings and child-care stability out the window," her press secretary, Geneviève Lemaire, told CBC News at the time.
